Remarks. Loeblich and Tappan (1987) once placed the genus Rotorbis in the synonymy of Neoeponides . Later, Loeblich and Tappan (1994) regarded it as a distinct genus of the family Discorbidae Ehrenberg (1838) , and the genus Neoeponides was placed in a new family, Neoeponididae .

Occurrence. Common in the Minebari Formation.
